To make a new catalog for Euterpe you can follow the following method:
@{LINE}@{LINE}
Ask me before. May be somebody else has started the job and your work will be
fruitless.
In the other hand, you could work together.
@{LINE}@{LINE}
Look closely at the files Euterpe.cd and Euterpe_français.ct which are
join with Euterpe's distribution. These are CatComp's files and you should
be used with this utility before going on.
@{LINE}@{LINE}
Euterpe is particular from the other software because the CatComp files are
automatically generated
by a special version of the executable file. Practically this mean that non
translated texts will
appear in the ct file at each new version of Euterpe.
@{LINE}@{LINE}
The name of the messages is globally politically correct ;) :
@{LINE}
All begin by MSG_
@{LINE}
_MENU indicates a menu title
@{LINE}
_REQ indicates a requester message
@{LINE}
_GAD indicates a gadget label, '_' character is for underlining
@{LINE}
_ERR is for an error message
@{LINE}
_FMT is for sprintf formatted strings. Arguments order can not be specified
for now, since there are some floating point formats inside these strings.

@TITLE "History"
@{JCENTER}@{b}History@{ub}
@{LINE}@{JLEFT}@{LINDENT 4}@{LINE}
@{i}Once upon a time, nine muses, among which, Euterpe, was inspirating
musicians...@{ui}@{APEN 1}
@{LINE}@{LINE}
Between 1990 and 1991, I have been involved in the development of the
Xanadu ADC16, a 16 bits audio board. This development gave me a lot of ideas
concerning the realization of a musical software for the Amiga.
@{LINE}@{LINE}
The development of Euterpe has started in late 1992. At the beginning it was
on a few routines using the MIDI interface. But the software grew bigger and
more complex
and the recording and playing functions where achieved rapidly.
@{LINE}@{LINE}
The general idea of the sequencer came a few time after : it had to be simple
to use. At the time of the WYSIWYG which made simpler the word processors, I
wanted
an easily accessible sequencer.  Instead of following the example of the
available
sequencers available (which were powerful but quite complex), I had a closer
look at
some software such as Superbase or Professional Page which contained a lot of
ergonomic features.
@{LINE}@{LINE}
Most of the musical software are made for studio professionals but only a few
are giving interest to bands and their specifical needs in live or in
practicing
their songs. From this came the idea of the Pictures and Texts instruments.
It makes it possible to a band to display a song structure or lyrics while
practicing. In a live performance the sequencer can display pictures
illustrating the
songs and can be remotely controled, not with a MIDI keyboard but with a
little hardware extension such as a three
button mouse.
@{LINE}@{LINE}
Then came the time where Euterpe became hard to maintain for a single person
:
the software was formed of more than 50 C language modules. It was too much !
But the solution came with C++ which cut the source size in two. The
transition
was easy and increased the adaptability of my code.
@{LINE}@{LINE}
In 1994 the software was quite elaborated when the Commodore bad news came.
I recognize it makes me feel that I should found a publisher quickly but
I have not been successful, for the main reason that the software had not
been yet tested seriously.
@{LINE}@{LINE}
In 1995, after a great testing campaign, the software was quite achieved and
ready to be published. I was talking of this with one of my friends (a
singer)
which told me about the interest of audio tracks in composition : the lyrics
could be moved
in differents parts. I found the idea intersting and started the
modifications
the next day...
@{LINE}@{LINE}
After having completed the demolition of the software, I have rebuilded it
on new bases, more clean and more adaptable. It was quite ready in 1996 when
I finally
decided to support AHI (who will complain). So we are now in 1997 and now
I think that great enhancements can be added to the code without damages to
the rest of the internal routines.
@{LINE}@{LINE}
In the futur, I want to enhance continously my software, to make the
direct-to-disk available and also provide note edition, add effects, finish
the metronome
and some other features. For this, I need your remarks, your encouragements
and
your registration.

@{JCENTER}@{b}Euterpe's Installation@{ub}
@{LINE}@{JLEFT}@{LINDENT 4}@{LINE}
@{i}What you need to know before installing Euterpe@{ui}@{APEN 1}
@{LINE}@{LINE}
The software installation is simply taken in charge by Installer
@{LINE}@{LINE}
A standard 3.0 system is enough for Euterpe's operation. If you want to use
Euterpe on a 2.0 system you should consult the installation specificities.
@{LINE}@{LINE}
Installation of CAMD.library is not provided by the software
because I do not actually have the license for distributing this library.
Owner of the Developer CD from Amiga Technologies or Electronics Arts Deluxe
Music
will found this library or have it already installed on their system.
You can also download the camd.lha archive from Aminet.
Euterpe will automatically detect the presence of the CAMD and will then
provide you access to its features.
The 2.0 version of the CAMD.library is required because the 1.0 is obsolete.
@{LINE}@{LINE}
AHI should also be installed externally. The minimum version required is 4
and
you should not try it with Euterpe if you have a previous version installed.
@{LINE}@{LINE}
If you do not own the CAMD.library or AHI, Euterpe will continue to operate
normally, but will disable some specifics features.
@{LINE}@{LINE}
Please note also that the online help will only function with an AmigaGuide
version >= 39.
Beta-testing has proven that some users have mistakenly installed some
previous versions
of this library.

@{i}For the users of the V37 and V38 of the operating system@{ui}@{APEN 1}
@{LINE}@{LINE}
Euterpe will not function with a standard V37 or V38 system.
@{LINE}@{LINE}
Since Euterpe makes use of the realtime.library, you will need the special
version
of this file for the 2.0. Actually I do not have the license rights which
will
allow me to distribute this file with the software. Owners of Amiga
Technologies Developer CD
will find this file in the CD.
@{LINE}@{LINE}
With a 2.0 system the online help has been disabled.
@{LINE}@{LINE}
Some minor troubles may appear in the display. Please note that a 4 colour
screen has been allowed only because of the Productivity ECS screen mode, in
fact
the correct display will need at least 8 colors.
@{LINE}@{LINE}
With a V37 system the locale.library is missing so the only language
available will be english.
@{LINE}@{LINE}
This software is regularly tested on an Amiga 600 V38+ECS.
Note however that most of the tests are done with a 3.0 system, so a few
problems
might be unknown of me.

@{LINE}@{LINE}
The format 0 is single track : every datas are on a single track.
@{LINE}@{LINE}
The format 1 is multi tracks : one track is dedicated to a channel
and a supplementary track is created to manage the Tempo changes.

@{LINE}@{LINE}

The @{APEN 3}General MIDI (GM)@{APEN 1}
, the @{APEN 3}Roland GS@{APEN 1} and the @{APEN 3}Yamaha XG@{APEN 1} formats define a standard for the
sounds used by a synthetiser and notes for a drum kit.
The GS format is an extension of the GM format from the manufacturer Roland.
The XG format is an extension of the GM format from the manufacturer Yamaha,
not yet recognized by Euterpe but you can still create instruments for your XG banks.
@{LINE}@{LINE}
@{u}Euterpe knows about the GM/GS formats and allows you to know which
instruments had been employed. Further more, with the help of the Drum
instrument you can also determine which DrumKit elements had been used.

Before anything else you must have a MIDI source (such as a keyboard

a cable to make the junction between the MIDI OUT plug of your source
and the MIDI IN plug of your interface.
@{ui}@{APEN 1}

@TITLE "Midi (CAMD and serial.device)"
@{JCENTER}@{b}Midi (CAMD and serial.device)@{ub}
@{LINE}@{JLEFT}@{LINDENT 4}@{LINE}
@{i}MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface and its
specifications tell how the datas are travelling between a network of
machines composing a network.
@{ui}@{APEN 1}
@{LINE}@{LINE}
On the Amiga, this datas are generally using the serial interface and
need a MIDI interface or a serial cable for linking two Amigas.
This is what Euterpe was using in the first time.
@{LINE}@{LINE}
The actual version allow you to access as many Midi networks as you have
serial ports and you can also open virtual Midi accesses on other CAMD
applications.
@{LINE}@{LINE}
This Midi accesses are defined as input and output and defined by a name
(e.g. : serial.device) and a unit number (0 is default unit). The same
access or a different access can be used in input and output.
The accesses are used by Midi and Drum instruments and can be edited
by the menu Edit -> Midi Access. You will notice a list with a selected entry :
the access which is selected is the default one, used for the edition and other
operations (such as Midi Testing) where Instruments are not taken into account.
@{LINE}@{LINE}
The use of the CAMD.library will allow you to create internal accesses
to transmit MIDI datas to other CAMD software or to CAMD Midi drivers.
For example, you can create a Midi access (called Cluster) that will be used
as an output for Euterpe and as an input for another CAMD software (such as
a MIDI effect processor) which will then transform the datas and send them
to the MIDI interface or to another software.

@NODE Audio
@TITLE "Audio (AHI)"
@{JCENTER}@{b}Audio (AHI)@{ub}
@{LINE}@{JLEFT}@{LINDENT 4}@{LINE}
@{i}Audio with Euterpe is functionning in two ways : like a Midi instrument
or as a single sample.
@{ui}@{APEN 1}
@{LINE}@{LINE}
Euterpe being dedicated to become a full-featured software,
the Audio routines constitute a big part of the application.
@{LINE}@{LINE}
in the first time, this routines were based on audiotools routines
of Rob Peck, which may be a little old but are still the best
way to use the audio.device.
@{LINE}@{LINE}
Historically, these routines are tied to the IFF 8SVX and IFF SMUS file
formats. The samples are defining octaves and an array say which
octave must be used for each of the 128 Midi notes. These samples also
have an introduction part played once and a repeat part, played again until
the end of the note.
@{LINE}@{LINE}
This mecanism has been greatly enhanced by the introduction of
the Dissidents's SAMP format which brings the possibility of using
resolutions from 8 to 32 bits, a varying number of channels (IFF 8SVX format
is at most stereophonic) and do not define octaves anymore but a set of
waves for each of the 128 notes. This great format did not encounter much
success, probably because of it's complexity and also because some fields
are missing to make it really perfect (For example, a 435 Hz A can not be
differenciated from a 440 Hz A because the note is defined as a Midi index).
Euterpe is however internally very close to the SAMP format.
@{LINE}@{LINE}
Actually, Euterpe is able of reading the following formats : IFF 8SVX
and IFF AIFF. Other formats can be imported with the DataTypes (3.0 or + needed), in this case
they will be converted to IFF 8SVX (8 bits).
@{LINE}@{LINE}
The new AHI system is a great enhancement concerning the number of audio
channels and the sounds resolution. It's major advantage is the possibility
to interface transparently not only the Amiga internal audio but also
most of the sound cards available on the market. With AHI, it is now possible
to define a new audio format.
@{LINE}@{LINE}
audio.device support has been removed because of the difficulty of implementing
the double-buffered reading and also because of the impossibility of setting
volume, frequency and panoramics without accessing the hardware.
Since the AHI support routines have been greatly enhanced, the loss of quality
of some 8 bits samples will be certainly be solved by a better selection of your audio driver.
@{LINE}@{LINE}
If you use AHI, then it will be possible to configure more than one Audio
output with the menu Edit -> Audio Access. The default access will be
the one selected in the list.
@{LINE}@{LINE}
Some sampling routines are included in Euterpe. Since they do not
provide good results for now, you should avoid the recording on audio track for now.

@TITLE "Questions and Answers"
@{JCENTER}@{b}Questions and Answers@{ub}
@{LINE}@{JLEFT}@{LINDENT 4}@{LINE}
@{i}Since you may ask some questions about this software, here are some answers.
@{ui}@{APEN 1}
@{LINE}@{LINE}
@{APEN 3}How to set the locators ?@{APEN 1}
@{LINE}
Go to the wanted position and then simply click on the record button. Select then
the locator you want to set.
@{LINE}@{LINE}
@{APEN 3}What is external control ?@{APEN 1}
@{LINE}
Theses controls are for those of you which want to bring their Amiga on stage !
In this case a simple three buttons mouse connected on the joystick port will allow you
to control the functions of your needs.
Those who have some electronic knowledge will be able to easily make some kind of
foot pedal.
@{LINE}@{LINE}
@{APEN 3}What is navigation screen for ?@{APEN 1}
@{LINE}
When a band starts a practice session, maybe one musician doesn't know the
song structure or may be the singer forgot the texts ...
Navigation screen is here for introducing useful informations when the song
is performing (it sure can do karaoke but this is not my cup of tea).
@{LINE}
This can be also be useful on stage if you want to add some visual effects
to your compositions... (notice that this screen is genlock aware)
@{LINE}@{LINE}
@{APEN 3}What is OUI ?@{APEN 1}
@{LINE}
OUI means Object User Interface. This is a collection of C++ functions designed
to make GUI programming easy. A simple dialog box is made with OUI in less than
fifty lines of code. OUI has nothing to see with UIK, MUI or the others. It is
even possible to interface OUI with any of those... The (awful ;)) OUI gadgets
are simply BOOPSI gadgets that I wrote to enhance a little my interface.
May be one day I will give OUI to the public domain but it is not my priority.
Tell me if you want things speeded up.

them is dedicated to the windows and the other one to the display.
@{ui}@{APEN 1}
@{LINE}@{LINE}
@{APEN 3}The Public Screen@{APEN 1}
@{LINE}
The main screen of Euterpe is a public and its name is Euterpe.
If the application is quitting and if windows that do not depend of
the application (known as visitor windows) are still there, Euterpe
will ask you to close them. If the windows are still present after
that, Euterpe will free everything but will let the screen opened.
If later, you load again Euterpe then the application will use this
screen instead of creating another one.
@{LINE}@{LINE}
@{APEN 3}The Navigation Screen@{APEN 1}
@{LINE}
The text display is made on a so called Navigation screen which is also
used by external controls. If you select the Navigation screen active
option this screen will pass in the foreground at each play and then
to the background at each stop. If the option inactive the screen
will stay in the background.
@{LINE}@{LINE}
@{APEN 3}Other screens@{APEN 1}
@{LINE}
If you are displaying pictures, Euterpe will load them in a separate
screen. This one will be closed at the end of the display. If your
pictures do not display, it is possible that there is not enough memory
left for a new screen initialisation.
